Amritsar, December 22
The city police today claimed to have arrested one more person in connection with the killing of Hindu Sangharsh Sena leader Vipin Sharma. He has been identified as Bikramjit Singh, alias Ghullaa, resident of the Tej Nagar area, located on the Sultanwind road here.
He was arrested from Mumbai by the Mumbai Police after his lookout notice was issued by the police. The Mumbai Police later informed the Punjab Police, which brought him on a transit remand here and produced him in a court in connection with the case. The court sent him to four-day police remand.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Investigations) Jagmohan Singh said Bikramjit had provided his motorcycle for the crime. He said Bikramjit remained with the prime accused and notorious gangsters Saraj Singh Mintu and Shubham Singh for 25 days. He later reached Mumbai to escape to Dubai. He had already booked tickets for the same.
He said the police had also recovered the car which was used to take Shubham and Mintu out of Punjab. They reached Agra in the car, which belonged to the girlfriend of Kunwarbir Singh, alias Kammy. The DCP said her role was still being verified.
The DCP, who is also heading the special investigating team (SIT) formed by Police Commissioner SS Srivastav to probe the murder and arrest the culprits, said Bikramjit was also wanted in another fraud case in which he changed the ATM card of a resident and withdrew money fraudulently. The case was registered in September last year.
Till now the police have arrested three persons — Vishal Sharma of Shaheed Udham Singh Nagar, Kammy and Bikramjit Ghulla — in the case. Both prime accused are still absconding.
